A TOWN
Creativity and The Importance
of “Reading” Pictures
Join Bring Me A Book to welcome two award-
winning author-illustrators, Petr Horacek and
Lauren Child, in a discussion about creating
children’s books. Lauren and Petr will share the
inspiration behind their work, the importance of
creativity, “reading” pictures and the process of
making best-selling children’s books—from font
snobbery to wrestling over font covers and how
ideas can come from anywhere. The talk will be
followed by a Q&A session moderated by Annie
Ho, Bring Me A Book board governor and former
SCMP columnist.
When: 5:00-7:00 pm, 22 October
Where: Stephenson Harwood (33/F, United Centre,
95 Queensway)

Ocean Park Halloween Fest
Ocean Park Halloween Fest is back with a whole new park-
wide approach. Ghosts will take over the Park’s six haunted
zones. In collaboration with LINE FRIENDS, the scares will
escalate as the night goes on from 5pm until 10:30pm – the
later you stay, the bigger the scares thus allowing guests to
determine what time to enter the Park based on their courage.
LINE FRIENDS characters will be there for guests of all ages to
take part in fun mini games to win Chupa Chups and Mentos
candies and take pictures with the characters. Tickets: Early
bird discount until 30 September up to HK$130 (Ticket Price:
HK$368) https://www.oceanpark.com.hk/en
